Beauty on and off the tracks. Get acquainted with the most versatile—and time-honored—bag we know: the Train Case.
Not many beauty items used today have a rich history, other than the classic Train Case, of course. Learn more about this beauty must-have, its history, and why we love it so much.
What Exactly is a Train Case?
To begin, it’s a self-explanatory term—a case you bring with you on the train—and it’s quite common in beauty circles. But there’s more than one reason this popular beauty essential has been a fixture of cosmetic storage for more than a century. Let us break down why we think train cases, like our Clarity Train Case, deserve a little extra time under the spotlight.
What is a Train Case Used For?
Train cases are useful no matter your method of travel—obviously, people of the modern world get from point A to B in a myriad of ways. But the true beauty of the train case is its utility beyond the locomotive. Is your trip over? Sure. But has your train case stopped being the best way to keep all of your cosmetic essentials organized, and in one convenient place? Of course not. It’s the perfect case to sit atop any vanity, dresser or desk, and elevate your organization on the go.
When it comes to capacity, the train case doesn’t hold back. They’re generously sized to fit everything you need—no editing required. Just toss it all in, zip it up, and you’re off. Whether you’re road-tripping or packing a large suitcase, it’s ideal when space and weight aren’t a concern. Thoughtfully designed to make packing effortless, the Clarity Jumbo Train Case is your go-to for carrying more, beautifully.
Exploring the History of the Train Case
The Train Case is aptly named, as it rose to prominence with the advent of train travel. Travelers covering long distances needed a place where they could reach their cosmetics, toiletries and other vanity essentials that was separate from their larger pieces of luggage, which would often be stowed away and unreachable. So as more people traveled far and wide by train, more people made it a point to bring a train case along. And as people prioritized this one bag that would always be within reach—and out in the open—they put more effort into designing train cases that were as stylish as they were useful. It’s this simple fact that inspired us to design our very own clear train case.

What To Look For In A Makeup Train Case
When choosing the perfect makeup train case, it's important to consider both functionality and style. Here are the key features to look for to ensure your case meets all your storage, organization, and travel needs.
Durability
When selecting a makeup train case, durability is paramount, especially if you travel frequently. Opt for cases made from sturdy materials, like the biodegradable TPU plastic used to craft our clear makeup cases, to ensure your cosmetics are well-protected during transit.
Storage Capacity
If you’re wondering how to pack makeup for travel in a train case, begin by assessing your makeup collection to determine the storage capacity you require. Choose a case that offers ample space to accommodate all your essentials without being overly bulky. Remember, a well-organized case not only stores your products but also enhances your daily routine.
Organizational Features
Effective organization is key to a functional makeup train case. Look for cases with multiple compartments, adjustable dividers, and drawers to categorize your products efficiently. This ensures quick access and prevents spills or damage.
Portability
Consider how often you'll be transporting your case. For frequent travelers, lightweight cases with comfortable handles or detachable shoulder straps are ideal. Some models even feature wheels for effortless maneuvering through airports or event venues.
Versatility
A versatile makeup train case adapts to various needs. Whether you're a professional makeup artist or an enthusiast, choose a case that can accommodate different product sizes and types. Some cases offer customizable layouts to suit your specific requirements.
Cost
While investing in a quality case is important, it's essential to find one that offers value for money. Set a budget and explore options that provide durability, adequate storage, and organizational features within your price range. Remember, a higher price doesn't always guarantee better quality.
By focusing on these aspects, you can select a makeup train case that not only meets your storage needs but also complements your lifestyle and budget.
